Giovanni's Kitchen - Ovation of the Seas

 Good morning,

The specialty restaurants aboard RCCL ships are fantastic.  Today's images are from Giovanni's Italian Kitchen aboard Ovation of the Seas. 

 This is Spaghetti Carbonara and...

 ...this is Tiramasu for dessert.

Oh, my, that looks so good!  Thank you for the images, Erica!

All the best,

Lois

Izumi Restaurant Aboard Ovation of the Seas

 Good morning,

Here is something I haven't seen at Izumi Specialty Restaurants aboard Royal Caribbean ships before:  pretzel sticks.  They look delicious! 

 Oh, and these treats are always special.  California Roll.

 Thank you, Erica, for sharing your images!

Yum!

Skagway, Alaska

 Good morning,

What a gorgeous day to visit Skagway, Alaska.  These images are from our friend Erica who is cruising aboard Ovation of the Seas with our daughter, Catherine.  

 This quiet little town in Alaska takes us back to frontier days...

 ...yet all modern conveniences are also here.

 

This is also a shipping port as we can see by the containers on the right side of the image.

The sign is the spot for tourists to snap pictures and also provides a map of the town.

Souvenirs!

This "gadget" cuts through snow on the rail road tracks.  

Engine 52.  

Thank you, Erica!  We love seeing your images!

All the best,

Lois

Silver Moon Tendering at Mendenhall Glacier Alaska

 Good morning,

Erica captured this image of the Silver Noon tendering to the Mendenhall Glacier in Alaska. 

 The Silver Moon is owned by Silver Seas, a company owned by Royal Caribbean.

It's all in the family.

Daisies Blooming in Alaska

Good morning,

How pretty!  Daisies were blooming along the side of the highway in Alaska. 

Mother Nature is in full bloom!

Enjoy,

Tour Bus Views - Alaska

 Good morning,

Erica sent us more images of Alaska!  

These were taken from her tour bus on the way to visit glaciers. 

 

 Just so beautiful!

That's their ship, Ovation of the Seas. 

The views are just stunning!

This is the second time Erica and Catherine cruised to Alaska.  The views are just so beautiful it makes everyone want to go back.

Enjoy!

Hibiscus in Bloom

 Good morning,

The Hibiscus are blooming in our garden now. 

 Each day buds will open to provide us with beautiful blossoms through the end of the summer.

 These pretty plants were here when we moved in many years ago.  I've encouraged some in areas of the garden where I wanted more of them and some reseeded on their own.

Gorgeous!

Enjoy,

Lois
